The Dead Rising Beta version is the version of Dead Rising before it was officially released. The following in information that is known about Dead Rising Beta:

SurvivorsEdit

• Frank West has a noticeably different appearance.^[1]

• Isabela Keyes is armed with a Barret M82 sniper rifle shooting at zombies in the Entrance Plaza.^[2]

• Jessie McCarney can be seen running through the Maintenance Tunnels, presumably being chased by zombies. Then the video shows a bloody and possibly dying Jessie sitting against a wall as Frank takes a picture of her.^[2]

• Jeff and Natalie Meyer appear in the Entrance Plaza instead of the roof.^[3]

• David Bailey is named David Garrison.^[4]

• Frank escorts a blonde female survivor in Seon's Food & Stuff supermarket. In the released final version this blonde does not appear and the only two survivors in the store are Steven Chapman and Isabela Keyes instead.^[5]

• The life bar was gray instead of yellow and psychopaths had their health displayed on the bottom of the screen instead of above their heads.^{[Verification needed]}

ScoopsEdit

• In the trailer, the mall entrance doors automatically open at 10 am, allowing the zombies into Entrance Plaza.^[2]

• There is a scoop called A Woman With Secrets with Rachel and Alan, two survivors hiding in McHandy's Hardware in the Entrance Plaza.^[6][7] The scoop was removed, the store was relocated to Al Fresca Plaza and both survivors appear in different places.

• Jo Slade holds Sophie Richards hostage instead of Kay.^[8]

• Sophie has a different appearance.

• Zombies appear on the Rooftop in a screenshot.^[9]

Trailer 1: This video is a beta trailer from 2005, pre-game release.

DEAD RISING (Working Title)

"Day one, the day I came here was the worst day of my life. I'll admit it, it was a big mistake. I'm a wartime photo journalist, I've seen it all, horror, famine, death - the real stuff of nightmares. At least, that's what I thought. That was until I saw a corpse, get up, walk, and kill. You probably think I'm nuts. The dead getting up and walking? Zombies? I'm not nuts though. Right now, if things go well, I may get my hands on a pulitzer or something. Its not like you hear about too many zombie stories in the news these days.

So I guess there are only two things left to do. Film everything I can, and survive until help arrives."

The song that plays after Frank stops talking is Cletus Samson's theme.
